Although it is easy to access partial guides such as Flora of China (http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china//PDF/PDF12/Abutilon.pdf ) and others, I need one that covers the largest number of species (and subspecies and varieties). At this stage I am mainly interested in ornamental Abutilon species in Europe.
I think that the next pictures are related to Abutilon hybridum, but confirmation will be appreciated. The foliar dermis presents stellate trichomes.

Hi. In one of the volumes of FLORA OF EGYPT, by Loutfy Boulos (vol. 2, 2000) there is a good key, with additional information and very nice drawings, to the species present in that country (pages 101-104).
Hi, I suppose, the book you need is European Garden Flora. Fortunately the part covering Abutilon is accessible at Google Books: http://books.google.at/books?id=yaD8XmgCYHsC&pg=PA72
Thank you all. With the information you have provided I could find new links related to the taxonomy of Abutilon. You can see two below.

Today I returned to visit the plant. The flowers have fallen without being fertilized. I'm pretty sure this is a sterile cultivar, probably of Abutilon hybridum.
I was definitely wrong. This is another Malvaceae quite similar: Phymosia umbellata (Cav.) Kearney.
I appreciate all the information you have provided me.
